"Give me some examples."

Ok, we can start your education now.

Do you remember a case a few years back in New Jersey? Wealthy guy, attractive girlfriend. Took her dead body out to sea on a boat and dumped it. Body never found. He was convicted and he stayed convicted.

There. I met you halfway. Go research it. When you've done that, I'll feed you more cases.

"Blood type work can be done very quickly..."

I can't believe you just said that. You actually think a person can be identified by his or her blood type alone? I'm A-positive. That's a pretty common blood type. Probably a billion or so people with my blood type."My statement stands: the police would have moved with much greater intensity had your's and other's speculation of a bloody murder scene actually been there."

Bye, guy.

There was also a guy in Arizona a couple of years ago. His wife and stepchildren turn up missing. The truck is found in a grocery store parking lot. Bodies are never found. The guy is on death row now.

>>You mean you don't already know?<<

No, I know personally of no murder case where the body or parts of it were unaccounted for and the defendant was convicted of murder. I'm not saying there's no case in history, I'm just unaware of it -- and it was your argument, not mine.

>>we can start your education now.<<

Yeah, OK. Start my education. /grin /smirk /outright laughter.

>>Do you remember a case a few years back in New Jersey? <<

Not at all. Do you have a case name and a reporter citation, if the appeal was published? If this is true, I'd be interested in seeing the differences between it and what's been reported so far. And I would bet money right now there are significant differences. Eyewitness? Diary?

>>You actually think a person can be identified by his or her blood type alone?<<

I didn't say a person could be identified by blood type alone, but it can be a form of exclusion. If you were missing, an O+ finding of blood on sheets would mean absolutely nothing.

>>Probably a billion or so people with my blood type.<<

Likely more like 2 billion, but I digress.

>>The SLC police just announced that this was a rage killing <<

The reports say "Police BELIEVE" it was a rage killing. If they already knew it was, they would have arrested him since there was nobody else in the apartment and he apparantly doesn't deny being there. You are jumping the gun.

>>And you say we're "speculating"?<<

Uh, yeah, that's exactly what you are doing. You don't know what the police know, and no one can know for sure if what the police know is the truth. They don't know where she is, whether she's dead or alive, and thus don't know if anyone killed her.

Do you believe everything you read? I guess you still think there was a bloody ski mask at OJ's residence? That was, according to the press, a very important piece of evidence until it was revealed in an initial hearing that it didn't exist.

You still haven't answered my question: what is your hurry in convicting this guy? There will be plenty of time to demand the death penalty for whoever is convicted of a murder, if it occured here. Why are you potentially setting yourself up to be wrong if something turns out to not be as reported?

If I am not mistaken wasn't that the one where he was a famous Lawyer and she worked for a State Congressman? Also if I remember correctly the only reason he was caught is because his brother finally broke down and said that his brother had him help dump the cooler and when they dumpted it the lid came open and he saw a leg.
